Schools, instructors and students
Training simulator for drone pilots and pilot schools
Progressive exercises, an AI and remote instructor, a logbook that fills itself in and preparation for EASA/AESA regulations, in the browser and with nothing to install. So that every hour in the field counts for more.
Important: using AIRLAB FPV is not equivalent to obtaining an official pilot qualification or certification. It is a complementary training tool; official qualifications and exams are the responsibility of AESA (Spain's aviation safety agency).
Benefits of simulation for teaching
The simulator does not replace the flying field: it means the student arrives there knowing what to do.
More practice per hour
The student repeats take-offs, landings and transitions without waiting for a battery to charge or for the weather to improve.
Mistakes at no cost
You can get it wrong, crash and start again in seconds, and then understand what happened with the replay.
Situations on demand
The instructor chooses the wind, time of day, scenario and failures to work on exactly what is needed.
Measurable progress
A score for every flight, events, hours per mode and skills demonstrated.
Progressive exercises and virtual hands-on training
From the first hover to a work mission, with clear goals at every step.
- Guided lessons with steps that check themselves, starting with the first hover in QHOVER
- Challenges with personal bests, and custom missions: you write what you want to practise and the AI prepares it with its own wind and failures
- Six courses with a training certificate: basic VTOL, AUTO missions, inspection, remote sensing, EASA/AESA regulations and drone-in-a-box operator
- Training plan: it reviews your latest flights and proposes the next sessions with a measurable goal
Artificial intelligence instructor
Captain Pitot flies with the student and reviews every flight: a debrief scored out of 100, a replay that shows the correction with an aircraft that really flies, live warnings and answers to their questions. It supports the human instructor; it does not replace them.
Remote instructor
The instructor joins from their browser, watches the flight live, talks by voice, triggers failures and takes the controls, just like with a trainer cable.
Debrief and questions
After landing, what happened and how to correct it; the student can ask about any moment of the flight.
More about the instructor
How it analyses flights and what data it uses: AI instructor.
Flight logging and assessment
Automatic logbook
Every flight is logged on disarm: aircraft, scenario, time in each mode, landings, transitions, score and lesson.
Separate hours
Simulator hours and real aircraft hours (from telemetry or entered by hand) are always kept separate.
Export
Logbook as a PDF with signatures or as CSV, available on any computer with the student's account.
Training certificates
With a public verification code at /en/verify. They are for training in the simulator, not an official qualification.
Use by training centres
- It runs in the browser: nothing to install on the classroom computers
- EdgeTX or OpenTX radios over USB, keyboard or touch sticks on a phone
- Phone viewer with VR goggles to watch the flight in 3D
- Interface, voice, instructor and a manual of more than 80 pages in Spanish and English
- Per-seat licences: state how many students in the licence request
Work missions, photogrammetry, the operations centre, the remote instructor and certificates are part of the Pro licence; the free trial includes everything in Pro except certificates.
Complementary preparation for UAV operations and EASA/AESA regulations
Theory and practice of European and Spanish regulations, applied in flight.
Exam-style theory
Question bank for A1/A3, A2 and the STS standard scenarios, covering Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and the Spain-specific rules, each question with its explanation.
In-flight practice
120 m ceiling above the ground, 30 m (or 5 m at low speed) from people in A2, and ENAIRE UAS geographical zones.
Coordination in a UAS geographical zone
Request to the heliport, the airport or ENAIRE with its lead time, and start and end calls to the zone manager.
Mock exam
With a 75 % pass mark, like AESA's. It is preparation: it does not replace the official exams.
Frequently asked questions about pilot training
Does AIRLAB FPV give you an official drone pilot qualification?
No. Using AIRLAB FPV is not equivalent to obtaining any official pilot qualification or certificate. The simulator's certificates are for training in the simulator and can be verified with their code, but they are not an AESA qualification. Official exams are taken with AESA (Spain's aviation safety agency).
Does it help you prepare for A1/A3 and A2?
Yes, as complementary preparation: an exam-style question bank for A1/A3, A2 and the STS standard scenarios, in-flight practice that applies the rules and a mock exam with a 75 % pass mark.
How does a school use it?
Each student flies with their own account in the browser. The instructor can join remotely from their computer, watch the flight live, talk by voice, trigger failures and take the controls. At the end they leave a note in the student's logbook.
Does the AI instructor replace the instructor?
No. Captain Pitot reviews every flight, explains mistakes and suggests exercises, but it is a support for learning and for the human instructor, not an official instructor.
What progression do students follow?
Step-by-step guided lessons (from the first hover onwards), challenges, custom missions generated with AI, six courses with a training certificate and a training plan with measurable goals.
Can it be used in class without FPV goggles?
Yes. You fly on the computer screen and, if you like, you can view it in 3D on a phone inside VR goggles costing €15 to €35, paired with a QR code.
